Issue ID: 24009
Summary: The garbage collector tries to allocate memory while
the program is out of memory
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: druntime
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: dlang-bugzi...@thecybershadow.net
- When the program runs out of memory, the runtime starts a GC cycle.
- While the GC is running, the program is still out of memory, so requests for
more memory from the OS will fail.
- Therefore, it should not request more memory from the OS.
- The GC requests more memory from the OS while it is running.
- Therefore, the GC may cause the program to crash when it runs out of memory.
Unfortunately I do not have a standalone reproducer, but here is a stack trace
which illustrates the problem:
